UArctic Promotes Pan-Arctic Consortium (Inside Higher Ed)

An Inside Higher Ed article quotes Ross Virginia, the Myers Professor of Environmental Science and director of the Institute of Arctic Studies at the Dickey Center, on the mission of the University of the Arctic (UArctic)—a consortium of 150 colleges, universities, and research organizations across the globe that aims to "increase access to Arctic-themed educational programs by increasing mobility and capacity both."

Virginia co-directs the UArctic's Institute for Applied Circumpolar Policy, which has held a number of International meetings with scientists, policymakers, NGOs, and Arctic community leaders on critical issues of Arctic security, health, and shipping.
